A lot of people have aspirations of themselves being rich and if they can vote like rich people they participate in the rich aesthetic.

I tried Zotero/Libre with Ubuntu and it had some bugs. Unfortunately I don’t have time to troubleshoot software combinations or go into source code… I’m just a user.

Anybody know of citation software such as Zotero that runs stably on LibreOffice? I will gladly switch but this is holding me back.

The document is open to interpretation. It can mean anything you want it to mean. For example, the first amendment is used to guarantee that unlimited amounts of money can be spent on election campaigns. So I’m not sure rewriting the thing would accomplish anything other than forcing the oligarchs to figure out new legal loopholes.

Serious question. What is “invest in mentors”? I can’t figure this one out. Like you pay people to mentor you?

I didn’t mean you specifically but I’m so glad that happened! I’ve recently left the US but while there I was active with DSA, labor organizing, and a local urbanist collective. My biggest gripe with the American left was always their insistence on throwing their weight behind this or that Democrat. Maybe now it will finally be clear that mass mobilization is the only way forward. We did this in the 1930s and we can do it again today.

Please actually do this. Not on the internet. Join a local activist chapter. Go to the meetings. Use your speaking voice. Contrary to what politicians and corporations tell you, it is possible to organize society in a way that does not result in oligarchy.

I bought one from Aventon. It was easy to repair and didn’t require anything special.

Could you link a source? I just want to believe this; I’ve never actually seen evidence of it.

They’re only useful for parties imo. Otherwise you put your spatula (or whatever) in the dishwasher and have to wait all week for the dishwasher to fill up with all the other dirty dishes just so you can have your clean spatula back. But yes in the US they are in every kitchen.

Cool, thanks for assuming the women in my life think I’m throwing them under the bus. I love your inclusive outlook.

Yeah I totally agree. I listen to Ralph’s radio show, and he’s still kicking. As sharp as ever. But we could use another one that’s 50 years younger.

Yeah there’s never been a better time to vote for a third party. I think we can move past this duopoly superstructure as long as we keep resisting. I don’t think the millenials or zoomers are as gullible as the boomers. But maybe I am being irrationally optimistic.

Ah yes, the latest in-group propaganda campaign. Please honor me with your downvotes.
